Scania RS series – collective page of long-haul tractor units with R and S cabs: 8 versions from R450 to S650, 12.7 to 16.4 litres displacement, 26.5 to 28 tonnes gross vehicle weight

This collective page gathers Scania tractor units with the R and S cabs, the two tallest cabs in the long-haul fleet. The R-cab arrived in 2004 with the PGRT platform, the S-cab followed in 2016 as the flagship with a fully flat floor and no engine tunnel. The numbers in the model designations – 450, 500, 520, 580, 650 – give the rated output in metric horsepower; the code A6X2NB denotes an air-suspended tractor driven through the forward rear axle.

The register lists 8 versions from six- and eight-cylinder engines of 12,742 to 16,353 cm³. Unladen weights range from 9,720 to 11,895 kg, gross vehicle weights from 26,500 to 28,000 kg, lengths from 5,600 to 9,320 mm and widths from 2,530 to 2,550 mm.

The R- and S-cabs form the backbone of European long-haul transport, where Scania competes with Volvo, Mercedes-Benz and MAN; the S-cab, with its flat floor, is aimed above all at drivers who sleep in the vehicle on a regular basis. The V8 variants with 16.4 litres of displacement serve heavy and special transport.

When buying used R and S models, check the operating hours and service history of the engine, the condition of the air suspension and retarder, tightness of the cooling system, and on the V8 engines the condition of the turbocharger and injection system. Scania offers a consistent parts and service network for both cab types.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
